Heres what you do:

Set tessellation to extreme, AA/AF to 8x/16x, resolution to 1680*1050
Start heaven
Before running the benchmark click "tessellation" and set Scale, Factor, and Distance all to 2.0
Run the benchmark

He who comes through this challenge with a average FPS over 30 can consider themselves a hero. Screenshots of your heroism is of course a must.

I'll start off with my initial result... GTX 580 @ 800 core, 4200 memory, a mild OC... later in the thread I have some better results:



Let's see what you got!!


EDIT: I have ninja-edited this thread a little bit to get rid of any results not fitting the criteria, except for DarthBeavis' result as he can't seem to run this at the specified resolution. So if I deleted or edited your posts, it's only a bit of housekeeping.

Need to grap that x64 Win7 - only had a 32bit laying here.

Benchmark kept crashing, and I hung my system twice, had to back off my cpu and gpu overclock. I run my games fine everyday but that bench didn't like them. Its a really old windows 7 install.

435 in overall score is the most i can push with the settings that this thread demand

Thats pretty darn good for a $200 card though.

Do you have what it takes to occlusion cull?

What do you mean by this?

Redid it since it bogged down at the start the last time and gave me 4 min fps for some reason.

CPU @ 3.8, GTX 480 @ 765 on the core.

No problem Bother!

My GTX 480 is Stock not SC edition or anything
Also i'm using the 260.99 WHQL latest Drivers


I did snooze my Antivirus during the test but that was it.

Thanks Bro - I saw the drivers in your sig after I posted, but was too lazy to edit.

That must put it down to your C2Q vs my P2 proc then...I need to upgrade

I think I'll try it with MSE disabled though just to be sure.

Thanks LT.
